THE REAL MACBETH . . .
It is the eleventh century and in the isles of Orkney a young boy is born. He is
named Thorfinn, baptized as Macbeth. To the north are the warring Vikings and
south lies Alba - the Scottish mainland. Orkney is the prize in between, and an
unlikely place from which a young man might launch a bid as ruler of a united
Scotland.
Yet Thorfinn is unlike other men. He has a warrior's courage and the wiliness of
the underdog. By his side stands his wife Groa, as shrewd and valiant as her
husband. Together they will navigate the treacherous waters of the new
millennium, uniting a divided nation and birthing a legend that will survive a
thousand years.
Thorfinn Macbeth will be King Hereafter . . .
